You'll Never Be Perfect

Pretty much me

I want to be so much more than what I am.

The real definition of beauty and glam.

I want that perfect little body,

With the perfect size b***s and a huge a*s.

I want to have that perfect tan, and dress everyday with such class.

I want that perfect smile, with those bright white teeth.

When I walk into a room, I want everyone to stop and stare at no one but me.

I want to be that girl with 151 likes on just one facebook photo.

I can want all I want , this will never be me though.

Ill never be perfect like some of the other girls out there.

Loving yourself sure is hard to do when all you ever do is compare.

This piece speaks to the problem we all have with body image, women especially. Society has told us our bodies need to look perfect, we have to change ourselves so that we are a certain size and have a certain look, or else we won't be beautiful/handsome. we have to wear certain clothes and a specific amount of makeup, we "need" makeup to be desirable.

At least, that is the message I see in all the commercials, as far back as I can remember. And that is the message I see in this piece. The narrator is full of anxiety over never being able to achieve that state of perfect beauty and popularity as advertised by the media.

The only thing you can do is to stop comparing yourself to others. You'll never be perfect, as perfection is an ideal not a real state of being. No one is perfect, we all have our flaws, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In truth, I am almost positive that most of the people who actually believe they're perfect have some sort of a god complex.

As for the poem itself, I found that the rhyme scheme was effective for the piece, if somewhat simple and well known. The meter wasn't bad either, except I noticed that two lines didn't follow it all that well. While most of the piece flowed well when read aloud, the 4th and 8th sentence were longer and more drawn out. It had the undesirable effect of throwing me off while reading.

Overall, it wasn't bad. A good attempt with a decent stab at a current issue.
